The
Nigerian Army has established a new Task Force Brigade in the restive northeast
town of Benesheik in Borno State as part of efforts to end the Boko Haram
Insurgency within the stipulated time-frame given by the President of the
country, Mohamodu Buhari.
According
to the Chief of Army Staff of the
Nigerian Army, in an address to troops deployed to the new brigade, the new
Brigade was strategically established to end insurgency.
"This
location is very important and strategic", he said, noting that the new
Task Force has great impact toward defeating the Boko Haram group.
“You
are better trained and equipped than the criminals and you have to be
professional and responsive,” he added.”You should have no excuse not to be on
patrol, ambush or raid operations,” he said.
The
army chief assured the troops that government would provide them with all the
necessary kits and equipment to facilitate their success to end insurgency. Subsequently,
General Buratai charged the soldiers to apply tactics, battle procedure and
fire discipline.
He
finally assured the civil population that the army would maintain high standard
of professionalism in the course of its duties.
